The General Story
In 1605, Polish Army Commander Chodkiewicz ordered the Polish Knights to ambush the enemy’s flank. He then launched a feint attack on the enemy’s center before retreating, drawing the Swedish Army into the plain.
Despite the Swedish Army’s solid formation, Chodkiewicz used the cavalry’s advantage to break their defense. He led the Polish Knights in a charge from the flank, wiping out the Swedish cavalry. They then attacked both the front and rear of the Swedish infantry.
In the end, Chodkiewicz won the battle with speed and fewer losses, despite being outnumbered. This victory earned him a place in history. His tactics were often copied, and his leadership inspired generations of soldiers.
